I have ran the Tail of the Dragon HARD twice (2010,2011) and some of the Smokey Mountain roads and had no issues without an oil cooler. |
So what gear were you in then? I wasn't going crazy but I also wasn't using my breaks very much either. I would think when taking the twisties for best control you would want your RPM in the 3-5k range.

Sounds like your Z runs about as hot as mine did.
